Is the problem caused by the fact that the home area is symlinked from /home to /opt/Local/home ?
It turned out that I have managed to fix the issue by changing the contexts of the files in /opt/Local/home/mike/.ssh to type user_home_t - and now the ssh problem has gone away.
I was told by a helpful poster in Fedora list that the fact that my home areas are on /opt would have resulted in inappropriate contexts for /opt/Local/home since this would have been different if the partition had been /home and not under /opt - this was indeed the case and changing to user_home_t fixed this.
I therefore suspect that I should change all the contexts to the same type in /opt/Local/home
Anyway problem solved for the moment... this kind of information may well be useful to others who have atypical home areas for ease of doing upgrades.
---- I would suggest that you would be far better off mounting the partition you now called /opt as /home and then move stuff around...
i.e.
init 1 umount /opt # then edit /etc/fstab so whatever partition mounts at /opt mounts at /home mount /home cd /home mv Local/home/* . # then mv everything that belongs in /opt to /opt # then init 3/5
